What’s in a name?

In the year 1995, a young family of three moved into a house in Papakura, South Auckland.
Many people came to this house; they would have tea and coffee, food and conversations. It was often a place to rest their head.

They spoke of the incredible conversations they had. It was a place to work through problems, it gave them the courage to chase their dreams, and more often than not, they left feeling challenged.

Over the years, this little house transformed into a Whare Wananga (A place of higher learning).
